After being granted a hardship waiver because of his mother's illness, Philadelphia native and former Wake Forest point guard Tony Chennault will be joining the Wildcats and is eligible to play immediately.

Chennault adds two years of experience to this Wildcats team and will most likely start alongside Ty Johnson in the Villanova backcourt.

Never a star at Wake Forest, Chennault is looking to rejuvenate his collegiate career in his hometown city.
